Pics of R20.....

I'm gonna stick my neck out and say it will be 4WD. I know the 'Rocco won't be, but I'm not sure that's a good thing to base a theory on, now is the time to make some differences between the 2 models 'fast' stable?
The A3/S3 is due for replacement soon, so no stealing sales worries there, it'll make more money for VAG if anything by using up the S3's platform for a while longer when it gets ditched for the MKIII. The A3 traditionally is the first application of the new platform - they've be developing what is to be the MKVII for it now and we won't see a new S3 probably until the MKVII arrives = plenty of space for the R20T in 4WD guise to breathe.
If the R20 is 2WD, then where's the headroom for GTI specials like the ED30??
The R brand has always been a very marked difference to the GTI one and I can't see them allowing the 2 to become so similar. It also goes back a bit further than people think. The Rallye was never a GTI, the VR6 syncro (sadly never imported to the UK) was never a GTI, the R32 was never a GTI.... the new R will not be a rebadged GTI.
God, I hope I'm right and don't end up looking a tool - ha ha!!
Off to wash the car and ponder trade in values.....

Definitely very logical and you might not be wrong.

According to the 'other' froum, several people have asked various dealers, all whom have confirmed it being FWD. :stupid:
